There is a chance the father was a cousin of the mother. This is not uncommon. Also the father doesnt have the be present to be registered. A Rellie of mine has the father registered.....when i found the fathers death he died 2 years before the ''son'' was born. |

No, the father did not have to be present and yes she could have lied but would have thought she would have used the father's surname not her own? |

By the way - I used the 1901 census for Hythe Park Road to check number 7, and all the 70's with no link to Wheeler or the name Mary Elizabeth. |

It is possible that the address has changed - some streets have been renamed, some demolished. Can you get sight of a map from that time? What is the address? |

My partner's grandmother was adopted pre 1927. She was born in 1903. She found out that she was adopted after her adopted mother had died and found a letter from her adopted mother to a registrar in 1951 asking to get the birth certificate changed. The registrar made it clear that she could not do this. |
